Where does your money sleep?

A BANK WAS MORE THAN JUST A BANK?

What if where you banked mattered? At Southern Bancorp, it does.

Just by banking with us, you’re helping financially underserved and economically struggling communities throughout the Mid-South create stronger financial foundations upon which to build brighter futures. And that’s no marketing gimmick.

You see, Southern Bancorp was founded to build communities and change lives. Our mission is to be wealth builders for everyone in the communities we serve, regardless of where they are on their personal financial journey, the language they speak, or their zip code. The American Dream should be in reach for everyone, and that’s why we exist.
